1/2 Visit to Dersingham Bog as part of the Stonechat monitoring. As they left their roost instead of heading south to the bank, today in relative calm conditions they headed out north into the open bog area, where they remained. Another try for a pair as we drove the track proved fruitless.

1/2. Evening on 8th saw us at the River Trust lagoons at Ingoldisthorpe which turned out to be a productive evening as the site had a few Swallows roosting and quite a few Pied Wagtails. Several fledged Marsh harriers were hunting nearby and a Quail flushed from the grass.
